What means '' Dont flash if your car is after 2013 or got Update by Dealer after 07/2012! ''
I have a 2011 E90, but got my ECU reflash by the dealer last year for some work done on my fuel pump... Does it mean I can't flash it?

That's old information prior to software numbers being traced through updated DATENs.

Right now, the only limitation is that cars produced 2/29/2012 or newer requires the FSC from the dealer.

However, if all you need to do is fix surging issues, you can update your DME with the last OEM software version with no issues.

Does anyone live in Massachusetts and have the PPK flash without dealer involvement? We have a customer whose having inspection issues due to communication with the DME, and the station is telling them their software number doesn't match their VIN. Evidently their system is setup to communicate directly with BMW to determine the expected software number.

Aside from this issue, the PPK was successfully installed and runs as advertised. Also, any/all OBD port readers successfully communicates with the DME.

HOLY SHIT!

No help here but I believe it. MA went batshit crazy last year with the car inspection process.

For example if a Jeep Wrangler is lifted more than 2" or has 2" taller tires, it will fail inspection. Every inspection bay has 5 video cameras that record each inspection and pipe it directly the MA DOT (or whatever the dept. name is). Crazy stuff.
